The Defence Wargaming Centre (DWC), located on Dstl's Portsdown West site near Portsmouth, was created to host wargames for all three UK services, responding to the increasing demand for wargaming as a tool both to support decisions and to develop insight into complex issues faced by defence and security. By delivering a wide variety of wargames it represents a significant step-up in capability and signals our intent to keep developing in response to growing MoD and wider government demand for wargaming.
